Everything has been dark.
A starless, night sky. With nothing to make light of it.

I spent the next 3 days in my room. I attended my classes, but I didn't socialize or do anything. Danielle tried to talk to me a couple of times, but realizing the ineffectiveness she stopped trying as hard. I didn't want to push her away, because I needed love and friendship more than ever in my current state of sadness and anger.
I listened to music mostly. While plotting my revenge against Kelsey, and how she was so angry that Harry broke up with her that she had to get back at me for it. It was just something you expect out of a movie or a book; it's funny how those things soon become a reality.

The other thing constantly on my mind was Niall, and what I could've done to prevent all of this from happening. What if I just never even talked to Harry, and let him hate me because of what I did? Then I would be fully Niall's, and Niall wouldn't need to worry about anything that was going on. But at the same time, I would lose the chance to get to know the actual wonderful person Harry was. It was a win-lose situation at this point. If only the two sides could just get along, this problem wouldn't have happened. If Niall would be less stubborn and Harry more persistent, I truly believe they could be friends again.

I just didn't really know what to do with my time to be honest. I didn't have any more study dates becasue first off I was never in the mood, and secondly I didn't want to add more tension to this already bad situation. I just wanted Niall to summarize everything. He was my sun, he brought so much light into my life. Ever since this all happened my focus in choir went down majorly. Singing Lux Aurumque did not make me feel better. It was all about light and the beaty within it, and it honestly brought me back to Niall everytime.
On Friday, Mr. Lawrence called me into his office after work.
"Reyna, you have not been yourself recently. And I'm a teacher, so it must be pretty bad if I notice." He started.
"Well, just a lot of things have happened recently, and they closely relate to music, so yeah you're right."
"Let me guess, someone broke your heart." He said it so blatantly, it kind of took me back.
"Welll... yeah. And he was one of the first people I met here. So it took most of my friends with him."
"Is he blonde, Irish, and in this choir?"
That's when I started to tear up.
"Yeah.."
"I see. I'm not great at talking about relationships, but I am good at talking about music. And I think I can relate it to you situation. Look at it this way, if you look at a note that just an alto and a tenor sing, it could sound horrific if it comes from a cluster chord; sometimes you need to take a step back and listen to all 8 parts to find beauty even in the darkest, and most clustered chords."
It made sense. I never thought of it that way. Just because there is dark tone and mixed array of notes doesn't mean it's completely a bad thing. Maybe I just needed to step back and look at everything going on, and find the beauty in it and see what I could take out of it.
By the look on my face, I think Mr. Lawrence could tell he made a breakthrough with me.
"Does it make sense now?" He said to me.
"Yeah.. it does. Thank you so much Mr. Lawrence." I said to him.
"Anytime, but there is one thing you should do. Did you know Eric Whitacre wrote a counterpart song to Lux Aurumque? You should look into it."
"Okay I will definitely!" I said starting to leave his office.
"Alright, cheer up this weekend." He said waving.
"I will do my best." I said and ran back to my dorm.

I did some more research into this counterpart song. It's called Nox Aurumque. "Lux" means "Light" while as "Nox" means "Night". I listened to it, and cried. Mr. Lawrence was right. If you listened to a single guy part against a single girl part, it would probably sound terrible. Because of it's mix of minor and major chords, the whole thing came together to sound absolutely stunning. I was in the middle of all these choir feels when my door suddenly opened.
Danielle and Liam walked in but left the door open.
"Um, hey guys. What's up?" I said.
"Reyna, we're worried about you." Danielle started.
"Yeah, you won't talk to any of us about it. And we get it, you're sad and if you could you would probably talk to Niall about everything. But you can't. So we brought in someone else to talk to." Liam said.
"Guys, I'm fine. It's just a breakup, I just need time to get over it and back with Niall." I said.
"But Reyna, you're always a little ray of sunshine. I think that's why you're mom names you REYna." Danielle giggled. "We just want to help you get it out. And if you don't want to talk to us thats okay. But we just want what's best for you, so we got someone that will."
"Oh yeah? I don't think there is anyone who could possibly have that much of an effect on me." I said getting back to my itunes. That's when a figure walked into the door frame.
"Wanna bet?"
